Tired day.. School was a bit more fun cos Ben brought his violin. I played it for the first time and it was fun! Kind of addictive.. but i don't really like the squeaky sound.. haha.. Well, went to a social service centre at tiong bahru with my class and another one.. The centre is catered mainly for the delinquent and troubled youths.. didn't turn out as i expected it to be but i came to know more about social work, sth which i'm very interested in. But it's a shame to see a girl who kept correcting the speaker's pronounciation while he was speaking. stuck up la. what's the big fuss about it.. words like 'cirque' and another french word.. and another girl asked questions like she was so suggestive of a fight. The speaker had to ask her with a hint of sacarsm, "Are you from the debate?" I could sympathize with the speaker.. and I admire his tolerance. It's no wonder people don't have a good impression of jc kids and I can't disagree too. The reason why I'm so interested in social work and counselling is because part of me have gone through the stuff that the people have gone through.. and I can more or less empathize with them. I have tasted the bitterness of hardship and I know I've grown and become stronger after that. I wanna make use of my experience to help them cope with theirs. Nothing in life is ever wasted ya. So it IRKS and disgust me when insensitive people make bad remarks about stuff like that... Well, let's see who has the last laugh.

My mood was slammed after the trip there and I felt really tired.. But I garnered enough strength to go for Ravi's band performance at nyjc... It was good, sort of lifted me up a little.. NY, the school that jeered us during the girls' 'A' division volleyball match, looks rather like a CC to me. But it's a beautiful school. Like it. Oh ya and it's friday today! yay.
